DROID Pro, DROID 2, DROID X and Incredible All Only a Penny at Amazon

This might be the pre-holiday deal of the century. If you had been holding out from buying one of the Droid branded phones, then hopefully this will be reason enough to pull out the credit card and join the most dominant family in the Android game. Actually, you don’t even need to pull out a credit card since they are all only a single penny. Yep, 1 cent for the Droid X. 1 cent for the Incredible. 1 cent for the brand new Droid Pro.

I got a plan, im going to get one of my friends, or family member to switch to an individual account whos new to verizon, and get any of the phones for a penny, then switch the phones and give him/her my D1, and upgrade my phone to such phone. =D is this a good plan? or is it bound to fail.

It is horrible how they bait and switch customers! No where did it say that family plans were a different charge until you clicked on it and BAM $48.88. What kind of BS is that. Bad enough Amazon plays this game, site like this should inform consumers of the real deal.

And some still think that when the iPhone comes to Verizon it will halt the Android dominance. They don't realize there are a bunch of reasons that Android is the dominant smartphone platform. Sales like these and buy one get one deals are a big reason. Why buy an iPhone for $199 or $299 when you can get 2 Android phones for free or $199.

Okay so I didn't get to upgrade for a penny, but it only cost me $99.00 to upgrade one of my existing lines with another new Droid X. That's still a lot cheaper than getting it directly from big red and none of that pay us now and get a rebate later crap. Thanks for the heads up, Droid-Life.com!

Do what I am going to do to get the Droid Pro for $0.01, open an account under a friends name, receive the phone, and then cancel service. Amazon only charges $250 as a penalty if you dont return the phone. Way cheaper than $479 for buying it without a contract.

Once you have your phone, it doesn't matter. Your phone is still YOUR PHONE regardless of whether they offer it any more

Or, if you're planning on upgrading then, THIS ISN'T THE I*HONE! Therefore, there will be a phone out by then that blows it out of the water. Of course, if you were an iDont loser you'd be stuck with nine month old technology

It is a good indicator of when the next generation of phones will be out.

As far as I know, yes.

To save time and avoid some letdown for a lot of people, this is the same as the last time they offered it – only the Incredible is $.01 (on an existing individual account), unless you start a new family or individual account with Verizon.

These are the prices if you're an existing customer on a family account:

– $48.88, Incredible– $99.99, X– $79.99, DROID 2– $149.99, Pro

Or an existing customer with an individual account:

– $.01, Incredible– $49.99, X– $39.99, DROID 2– $149.99, Pro

So, if you're like me an are already on a family account you end up getting screwed. Does anybody know if you can start a new family/individual plan and then merge it with an existing plan at a later date without penalty? Because that's the only way I can see getting around this.

Thanks for the breakdown.

I guess I won't be upgrading this holiday season.

Just got off the phone with Amazonwireless… even if you are an existing customer with an individual account…. you MUST be within 2 months of your contract ending in order to be eligible for this upgrade. Verizon typically lets you upgrade like 5-6 months early… but for this Amazon deal, must be within 2 months.

Too good to be true, as expected.

Yes you can merge 2 family accts, as long as your not over the 5 limit in doing so.
